hi jim..

funny you said 4 or 5 hinges..I just completed that phase and am using 4hinges on each wing hoping to avoid potentially any flutter.theres not much of any open seam but I guess if need be use some transarent covering to tape what seam is exposed on the bottom as added insurance but with a stock 46 and no pipe I cant see the need.I also used better hinging material as well.I am swapping out the balsa pushrods and going with nyrod material .I;ll stiffen it up by bracing in the fuse.when its done much much less slop.beyond that its going to be standard issue.lol.I found in my inventory a pair of 2.5 inch old unsed vecco wheels.they look like military wheels.did anyone use bigger wheels??and I looked for a small jet pilot figure.I know why I never had one ..its expensive .any ideas? today I am making wing fillets.that will be interesting as I have only done it 2x before in the laST 20 some years.

really looking foward to finishing it in time for a fun fly in a couple weeks.I'll have that and my new funtana to fly .whew two new planes in one summer lol.
